Question

Find the y-intercepect of the graph of: y-6=3/8x also find the slope

Answer 1

We are given the following equation:

`y-6=(3)/(8)x`

The general form of a line equation in slope-intercept form is the following:

`y=mx+b`

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

To take the given equation to the slope-intercept form we need to add 6 to both sides:

`\begin{gathered} y-6+6=(3)/(8)x+6 \\ y=(3)/(8)x+6 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the y-intercept is 6, and the slope is 3/8.
